Tummy tuck (TT) safety with Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin (Factor II) G20210A mutations - is a full tummy tuck safe for me?

Each surgeon will have their own recommendations and views on operating on patients with medical risks like the one you described.
Ultimately, you’re the one who will have the complication if you have one and unfortunately blood clots leading to pulmonary embolisms can be fatal.
A full tummy tuck increases the chance of developing a DVT.
Whether the risk can be calculated or not, it’s most likely best revealed with your hematologist.
The life expectancy of people with your disorder has not been shown to be decreased, though the rate of blood clot formation is higher.
My first hand experience with Renn has been fairly disappointing.
If subcutaneous fat is the problem, then liposuction is the solution.
If you have significant skin laxity and muscle separation, then a full tummy tuck is most likely indicated.
I generally review a tummy tuck as either do it correctly or don’t do it at all.
Without seeing pictures, we can’t begin to make an assessment.
Whether a surgeon is willing to do the procedure or not is one factor.
The other factor is their inherent skill and understanding what your results are likely to look like.
Ask providers to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics to your own for whatever procedure they are recommending.
Bring pictures of yourself to use as a reference during the consultation, especially when reviewing before and after pictures.
Seeing results of people who have similar body characteristics is your best way of understanding what your results are likely to look like regardless of what procedure you choose.
Don’t rely on memory or looking in mirrors to remember what your body looks like.
People tend to have pretty distorted views of what their body actually looks like so having pictures of yourself to use as a reference during the consultation is really helpful.
Look at how plastic surgeons take before and after pictures to get an idea of how to take pictures of your own body.
Have someone else do it or use the timer on your camera.
Preferably have pictures printed out to compare when providers show you examples.
Finding the right provider is in the end, the most important variable if you decide to go forward with the procedure.
The risk of having a complication is probably not particularly related to surgeon selection, but your results will be.
If you’re going to have the procedure, then make sure you get the results you deserve.
Finding the right provider is more difficult than most people realize.
In my opinion, the more in person consultations you have the more likely you are to find the best provider for your needs.
Learn how to vent plastic surgeons correctly.
Make them show you enough before and after pictures that you have a very good idea of what your results are going to look like.
Tummy tuck outcomes are generally based on getting consistent quality, looking belly buttons, and the design of the incision.
Review sufficient numbers of before and after pictures online to have a clear understanding of what quality results should look like.
